Happy National Wildlife Day.

One of the greatest privileges of life at Zongororo is sharing this beautiful corner of the Lowveld with an incredible variety of wildlife. From graceful Reed Buck grazing in the early morning to the haunting call of a Side-Striped Jackal as the sunsets.

Over the years, we've been fortunate enough to spot:

🐾 Red & Common Duiker
🐾 Water Buck & Reed Buck
🐾 Baboons & Vervet Monkeys
🐾 Side-Striped Jackals
🐾 White-Tailed Mongoose
🐾 Chameleons
🐾 Bloukopkoggelmanders
🐾 And even the mighty Hippo!

Every sighting is a gift and a reminder of the incredible diversity of life that surrounds us.
